The model has considered that New York guard Jalen Brunson (questionable, ankle) is the main offensive playmaker. Brunson creates his own shot with ease from all three levels. The Villanova product leads the team in team in scoring (24.8) and assists (5.5) while shooting 44% from downtown. In his last game, Brunson totaled 23 points and four assists.

The model also knows Toronto forward Pascal Siakam continues to be a menace in the frontcourt. Siakam glides to the rack and owns a reliable jumper on the outside. The 29-year-old averages a team-best 20.7 points with 6.9 rebounds and five assists per game. On Dec. 6 against the Heat, Siakam racked up 30 points, four rebounds and six assists.
